The ratio of the concentration of a ________ over ________ describes the proportions of forms of a weak acid necessary to satisfy the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation describes the pH of a solution in terms of the pKa (acid dissociation constant) and the ratio of the concentration of the conjugate base to the concentration of the conjugate acid. Both B) conjugate base; conjugate acid and D) proton acceptor; proton donor accurately describe this relationship, as the conjugate base is the proton acceptor and the conjugate acid is the proton donor in the context of acid-base chemistry.
